No More Heroes (ノーモア★ヒーローズ Nō Moa Hīrōzu?) is an action-adventure hack and slash video game for the Wii. It was directed by Goichi Suda (known by the nickname Suda51), developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and published by Marvelous Entertainment, Ubisoft and Rising Star Games. The title comes from the album title No More Heroes which was released by the British punk band The Stranglers. A sequel, No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, was first released in North America on January 26, 2010.
A port of the game called No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 with additional content in Japan. Unlike the original, the international version of the game was published by Konami, and currently only the PlayStation 3 version of the game has been localized in Europe and North America. The International PS3 version is uncensored like the Japanese Xbox 360 version.
At Nintendo's Switch Presentation in January 2017, Goichi Suda officially confirmed that a brand-new title in the No More Heroes series is in development for the Nintendo Switch, though this was not explicitly confirmed to be No More Heroes 3.
